Purpose: To test the hypothesis that a summary index derived from the central 12 points of the 24-2 visual field (MD12) could provide complementary information to that provided by the 24-2 visual field (VF) mean deviation (24-2 MD).
Design: Longitudinal observational study PARTICIPANTS: 125 eyes (125 patients) with central damage or moderate to severe glaucoma from the Advanced Glaucoma Progression Study with four or more pairs of 10-2 and 24-2 SITA standard VFs.
Methods: Baseline 10-2 and 24-2 VF dates were within six months, and the remaining pairs of VF tests were done in the same session.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of cataract surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP) in filtered eyes with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).
Methods: In this prospective interventional case series, 37 previously filtered eyes from 37 PACG patients with mean age of 62.1±10.
Background: Child maltreatment is a global phenomenon with possible serious long-term consequences. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between childhood maltreatment and opiate dependency in older age.
Methods: In this study, 212 opiate dependent individuals and 216 control subjects were selected consecutively.
Purpose: To report a case of rapidly progressive infectious keratitis after INTACS implantation for keratoconus.
Methods: A 32-year-old man presented with pain and decreased vision in the right eye of 2 days' duration. Right eye visual acuity was 20/800.
